Sarah Moon

Even her name is dreamy. The work of photographer Sarah Moon is captivating and fantastical. From her earlier works printed on sepia paper, a process from the 1920's.

For Dior

To her 2002 series "Circus"

 

 

Sarah Moon CIRCUS 2002

She manages to capture the everlasting in the new. Each image has a timeless and fairytale quality and in the "Circus" series she captures the theatrics of that life but also a feeling of remoteness, bleakness and all with a beauty and a dignity.

But, it is her color images that really grab my soul.

 For Comme des garcons

 

For Hussein Chalayan

 

La robe a pois

 

Le parfum

 

 For Issey Miyake

 

For Madame Figaro

The saturation of colour, softness, the blurry edges, it is a testament to how far Fashion photography has come.
